Just a point in note, I used Konqueror and KGET to make downloading easier. It just took all the links and saved them all to the directory of my choice.

Ok never mind I am a retard. It turns out that my SD card is a little skizzled and won't let me install the cardfs so I installed it on my CF microdrive and now I have all the apps as promised. However since the cardfs is on my microdrive I can't put in my wifi card and USB networking still isn't working. I am trying to connect it to my WinXP (ducks to avoid a stoning) laptop but the laptop just doesn't see it and the Z doesn't auto setup the connection like it used to with 3.5.4. I guess what I am going to do is buy another SD or MMC card and install to that. Anyone have any suggestions for a nice 1 gig card that is known to work?

The 2.6 kernel uses the g_ether driver for usb networking now. First, make sure to run

you may need to remove the old sharp drivers in order to get internet connection sharing to work. I use this setup to get my Z online when I am at work (Just don't tell my IT guys.. )

Hey thanks for the help USB is working now however it appears that when my Z is connected my laptops internet connection is no longer working so I will have to look in to that when I get some more time. I saw on you signature thay you have a homebuilt gps unit. Are you using that with your Z? If so would you have plans to build one? I am somewhat handy with a soldering iron and circuit boards. I was thinking of getting a BR305 GPS reciever for my Z but they are a tad expensive.

Yes, I have used it in the past on my 5600 with both zroadmap and qpegps. Basically it is an old IBM/RFMD GPS module with a 3.3V Regulator and an inverter to get the serial port working. I got the module off EBay. If I were to do this again, I think I would try to find a more mainstream module tho. I have not been able to find the full documentation on the RFMD Binary protocol and It seems to have some quirks to it. The Unit is hooked up to ttyS0 using the sharp docking connector. You will need to disable the standard serial console to get this working. Threre should be a couple of old threads on how to do all that.
